I feel confused as to what to do. In reading this week's set of readings I understand that there is a problem in current social structures or current value structures, but do not see a way to change this. How does one change a value system? I think it was interesting when McIntosh sums up the women's experiences, she describes the education *being done to* the women.

Perhaps I do not understand the problem (problems?) clearly enough to see a way around them. 

I think my education has mostly been phase 1, occasionally phase 2 in terms of women.  I disagree with skumar (Sonal?) that a math class cannot be in phase 5. If there is no way to include women or people of color in math then there must be no way to include any people at all in math, but some groups of people do feel included in math. At times I have felt included and at others excluded by math classes. 

How does one apply this theory? Is there a way to value diversity? If we say our main goal is to value diversity haven't we failed already?
